	Boulton Paul Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the early 1900s, Boulton and Paul Ltd was a general manufacturing firm based in Norwich, England.
		In 1915, Boulton and Paul began to construct aircraft under contract including 550 of the Royal Aircraft Factory FE.2b.
		After World War I, Boulton and Paul made their mark with the introduction of powered and enclosed defensive machine gun turrets for bombers.

	Boulton Paul Defiant
		Often maligned as a failure, the Boulton Paul Defiant found a successful niche as a night-fighter during the German 'Blitz' on London, scoring a significant number of combat kills before being relegated to training and support roles.
		The Boulton Paul company first became interested in powered gun turrets when it pioneered the use of a pneumatic-powered enclosed nose turret in the Boulton Paul Overstand biplane bomber.
		Boulton Paul tendered the P.82 design, featuring an 4-gun turret developed from the French design, and was rewarded with an order for two prototypes.

	The Supermarine Spitfire
		The cockpit of the aircraft was enclosed and formed part of the design lines of the body, while the narrow undercarriage was retractable with the wheel being lifted into wheel wells under the wings.
		Some were assigned to low altitude flying and for this many of the MK VB's had their wing span reduced to 32 feet 2 inches and the Merlin 45 engine was replaced by the Merlin 45M, the Merlin 50M and the Merlin 55M, all of which performed better at low altitudes.
		But in 1940 there was a shortage of fighter aircraft during both the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain that supply of Spitfire Mk I's to the RAF took precedence over the Admiralty's request hence supply of Spitfires to the Navy did not commence until early 1942.

	Untitled Document
		On Sunday 15th September, club members paid a visit to the Boulton Paul Association aircraft museum in Wolverhampton to take part in the dedication ceremony for their replica Defiant fighter aircraft and to see how Austin Healey body panels were, and still are made.
		It started as the Aircraft Department of the old Norwich firm of Boulton and Paul Aircraft Ltd in 1915, became Boulton Paul Aircraft Ltd in 1934 and moved to Wolverhampton in 1936.

	AIRCRAFT
		A total of 20 aircraft in three marks were built, with 2 Mk.IIs being converted to Mk.Vs. - There didn't seem to be a Mk.IV.
		In 1933 Boulton and Paul designed the Mail Plane to fulfil a requirement of Imperial Airways for a craft of "reasonable speed", 1000 pounds payload and a range of 1000 miles.
		Boulton and Paul Aircraft production in Norwich ceased around 1936 when it was moved to a new factory in Wolverhampton.

	Boulton Paul Defiant - P82
		This is especially true for the turreted fighter concept, which materialised in two operational types, Boulton Paul Defiant and Blackburn Roc.
		First, with a crew of two, the pilot would be relieved of the dual task of flying the aircraft and firing at the target.
		This demonstrated the ability of the aircraft in the role for which it was designed.

	ProResin 1/72 Boulton Paul P.111, previewed by Scott Van Aken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s the British aircraft industry was engaged in many projects to confirm and develop the design ideas captured from the Germans at the end of the second world war.
		As part of this activity the P111 was built for the Air Ministry to specification E.27/46 by Boulton Paul Aircraft Ltd to investigate the possibilities of the delta planform wing.
		The aircraft was not designed to be supersonic but to explore the characteristics of the aircraft shape in the transonic speed range.

	ADASTRA AERIAL SURVEYS - VH-AGE
		The aircraft commenced survey operations, but at 0750 hours the Doppler equipment became unserviceable, and at 0800 hours, after light rain had been encountered the survey work had to be abandoned.
		The refuelling agent said the aircraft had been to the north of the airport, heading west with the undercarriage lowered, as though on a downwind leg for a landing on runway 07.
		The aircraft's SARTIME was not due to expire for more than two and a half hours, but the Flight Service Officer, disturbed at the refuelling agent's information, immediately began calling the aircraft and when it failed to reply, declared the Uncertainty Phase.

		The Boulton Paul Defiant was an early World War II fighter aircraft and bomber interceptor of the Royal Air Force, built by Boulton Paul Aircraft Ltd.
		Advances in aircraft design during the 1920s and 1930s resulted in a generation of multi-engined bombers that were faster than the single-engined biplane fighters then in service.
		The turret was based on a design by French aviation company SAMM, and had been licensed by Boulton Paul for use in the Blackburn Roc naval aircraft.

	The History of Pendeford
		The most famous post war Boulton Paul aircraft was the Balliol, a trainer powered by the Rolls Royce Merlin engine, which was built between 1950 and 1957.
		The airport sign was rescued by local historian and author Alec Brew in 1974 and is now preserved by the Boulton Paul Association in their visitor centre and workshops situated in part of the former works.
		Much work has been done since the Association was set up in 1991 and a fine collection of Boulton Paul related material and artefacts are under restoration and on display.

	Hawker Fury -- Fury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Examination of Faber's aircraft was largely responsible for the preparation of Specification F.6/42, which called for a new, high-performance fighter.
		The Sabre VII-powered Fury was perhaps the fastest piston-engine aircraft ever built by Hawker, possessing a maximum speed of 485 mph at 18,500 feet and 457 mph at 8000 feet.
		Although the RAF canceled all contracts for the Fury, the aircraft was nevertheless built in small numbers for Iraq, Egypt, and Pakistan.

		The Boulton and Paul Aircraft Company designed and flew the first prototype K8310 on 11th Aug 1937.
		Two of the aircraft appeared to be struck off charge on 1 January 1947, indicating that they were still being used in 1946.

		There were few British aircraft not supplied by Hobson's and when they took to the skies, pilots of planes such as the Blenheim, Halifax, Lancaster, Spitfire, Tempest and Wellington all relied on the skills of Wolverhampton workers.
		The Germans were aware of the importance of this aircraft factory and Luftwaffe maps from 1940 show it clearly.
		To fool enemy aircraft, a 'dummy' factory with 'dummy' aircraft outside was built two miles away at Coven.

	Magna Models 1/72 Miles M.25 Martinet TT.1
		Miles Aircraft Ltd. was a relatively short-lived independent company that existed around, and just after World War 2, before it was swallowed up in the consolidation that occurred in the British aircraft industry post 1946.
		There are some differences between the two aircraft: the Martinet was longer than the Master Mk.2 to counter the weight of the target towing equipment, the Martinet was heavier than the Master Mk.2, the Martinet was slower than the Master Mk.2, the and the Martinet canopy was different.
		The Martinet was a two-seat aircraft of wooden construction with fabric surfaces, and was powered by an 870-hp Bristol Mercury radial piston engine, with a top speed of about 240 mph, and a cruising speed of some 200 mph.
